In order to preserve the contemplative atmosphere for all our guests we do not allow picnicing on the grounds. However, there are some nice sites for picnics just down the road from us we can recommend, such as Woodson Bridge State Recreational Area: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=459 and the Tehama County River Park: http://www.co.tehama.ca.us/tehama-county-river-park
